A Practical Data Processing Approach for Achieving Effective Management Control of Aircraft Manufacture

Continued prosperity in the aircraft industry can lead to costly inefficiencies. Management is using data processing to offset these inefficiencies, but many applications are only partially effective. This paper reviews a system application at Mooney Aircraft, Inc., that was developed from “ideal” operating concepts. The theory behind the system development is outlined and the critical control procedures and objective operating results achieved are identified.
